The Cannes Fireworks Festival 2012 begins on Saturday July 14 and
continues through Friday August 24th. This year, five countries will take part
in the competition and once again work to outdo each other with dramatic music and extravagant displays. The fireworks are released from
barges in Cannes Bay, opposite the Croisette. As usual, tens of thousands of
people will gather to ooh and ahh on all the city's beaches, on the promenade
and on hundreds of boats moored offshore. The shows begin at 10 pm and last 30
minutes. This year, the following countries will participate:

Saturday July 14th– Italy

Saturday July 21st – China

Sunday July 29th – Spain

Tuesday August 7th– France

Wednesday August 15th – Germany

Friday August 24th – Argentina (not in
competition)...and an announcement of the winning country.

Julie, I cannot imagine a more exquisite setting for fireworks... then to see them reflected in Cannes Bay, wow! I would have to find a place back from the beach for viewing. This is an event which can be enjoyed by many!
